The horror anime REQUIEM FROM THE DARKNESS is notable for its unusual style of animation, designed to fit the moody atmosphere and themes of the series. In the 1860s, Japan is in turmoil. A would-be author of this feudal period, Momosuke is tired of writing children's stories.

The trio move through the countryside dispensing karmic retribution on the truly evil. Each episode finds Momosuke and his strange friends dealing with a different horror inspired by traditional Japanese legends and folk stories.
